Question

If 7/12 is multiplied by a fraction less than 1 what would be the product

Answer 1

Examples below

Explanation:

We have the fraction

`(7)/(12)`

It's required to multiply it by any fraction less than 1. Let's select the following fractions. All of them are less than 1 because the numerator is less than the denominator:

`(1)/(7)`

`(4)/(5)`

`(6)/(35)`

The required products are:

`(7)/(12)\cdot (1)/(7)=(7)/(7*12)=(1)/(12)`

`(7)/(12)\cdot (4)/(5)=(4*7)/(12*5)=(7)/(15)`

`(7)/(12)\cdot (6)/(35)=(6*7)/(12*35)=(1)/(10)`
